About Suntop

Suntop is a small rural locality in the Central Western Tablelands of New South Wales, situated within the Dubbo Regional Council area near the town of Wellington. The locality covers rolling agricultural land in the Macquarie River district, characterised by grazing properties and dryland farming typical of the Central West region. Like many localities in this part of NSW, Suntop is a sparsely populated area with minimal recorded residential presence, serving primarily as a geographic designation for the surrounding farming district.

The surrounding area around Suntop enjoys a classic inland NSW climate with warm summers and cool winters, supporting wool, beef, and cereal cropping enterprises on local properties. The nearby town of Wellington, approximately 35 kilometres away, provides essential services including supermarkets, schools, and health facilities, while Dubbo—a major regional centre—offers a broader range of amenities roughly 80 kilometres to the north-west. The Wellington Caves, one of NSW's most impressive limestone cave systems, are a notable natural attraction in the wider district.

Suntop falls under postcode 2820 and is governed by the Dubbo Council (Local Government Area). For federal elections, residents vote in the electorate of Calare, while state elections fall under the Dubbo electorate.
